This place can best described as a dive, but in a good way. A small hole in the wall diner. The food was good and the prices are what a decent breakfast should be for. Coffee, juice, bacon eggs and toast, $7.00. The server was a real sweetheart. She a had a beautiful smile with a sunny personality. The owner was hard at work on the grill. They knew just about every one who walked through the door. Don't judge the place from the outside or even the inside. It could definitely use a makeover but if you're looking for a simple inexpensive place to eat, with decent food, this is it.

What a treat eating at the Big Tomato! Perfect diner/luncheonette vibe and food to match. You can sit at the counter and watch them make your food or sit back at the many tables. The staff is super friendly and you feel like you’re watching a sitcom as you eat and enjoy the banter between the cooks, servers, and register person. Lastly, the prices were reasonable and I got a few coffee refills! I’d love to go back if I’m ever in town again.

I love this little mom and pop breakfast place, and it’s a shame that they are closing after all these years. You can tell it’s a couple of family members running the place, working together to take care of so many loyal patrons…. It feels cozy and comfortable in there, and there’s not very many places where you can get that feeling in this city. The food is very good, it reminds me of going to my grandmas for breakfast.

This is a breakfast and lunch restaurant and it’s on Poughkeepsie’s Main Street on restaurant row, open until 3pm. We ordered standard American breakfast, like omelettes and coffee. There was also a wide variety of sandwiches in the menu. The food was good and tasty. Service was quick and friendly, prices were reasonable.

Wonderful little diner in Poughkeepsie. The food was cooked perfectly, and it felt like a true diner experience. Great pancakes, great eggs, great sauces. The price was also exceptionally reasonable. The only thing I wish they had was real maple syrup, instead of pancake syrup. I'd absolutely recommend!
